What is in the Design:

Code:

The most thoroughly documented of the Hellene Mystery ceremonies is that of Demeter at Eleusis, known in ancient times as the Greater Mysteries,or Eleusinia. Demeter, an agricultural goddess, evolved from earlier, pre-agricultural Mother goddesses similar to Gaia, Rhea, or Meter.2 She was known in the Hellene world as the spirit of the unripe fruit, whereas her virgin daughter Kore was considered to be the spirit of flowering. 3.

Both numbers (2 and 3) are underscored.

Any ideas what might be causing the numbers not showing as superscripts?

OK, how is it not working, are they superscript or not? If not then there is a problem elsewhere on the page, I tested the code you posted and it works fine.

You can fix the underscore with the line:

Code:

text-decoration: none;

And one more thing,

Code:

#f00

is the same as

Code:

#FF0000

it's just shorter and easier to remember if you want to start making more complex colours(remember three values, not 6).

Thanks for the reply.

I'm confused since it works for you and not for me.
I'm using FF3.0.5 and IE8 Beta and in both cases it doesn't superscript the number.

That, as you say, indicates a problem somewhere in the page.
In a blank page I copied the CSS and the HTML (text with the superscript) and got the same result as before. I wonder if this not my Dreamweaver's version issue. (V 8.0.2)

The numbers should be superscript, but they appear in the same line as the text and not a bit above the text.

I uploaded the superscript.html. If you could look at it I'd appreciate. I know that you did the test and worked for you, perhaps I'm just wasting my time and yours.

If this still works for you and you are using the same Dreamweaver version as I am then I'll leave things the way they are and give up making the numbers as superscript and will close the issue. No point beating a dead horse.

thanks again

In firefox install the firebug plugin, and just see what is overriding the styles I have posted, if you can't do that yourself post a link.

Lucky me.

I just can't uninstall (Firebug Old version). I installed Firebug new version for ff3 and restart of FF wion't do a thing with it. I wanted to try it myself but wouldn't work.:mad:
